BENEATH THE MISTLETOE.
DEE sHAcKLEFoBD.
Written for the Graphic.

sit In my chimney corner
This snow clad Christmas lime,
And dream OF years departed,
When youth was In It's prime.
The walls ofmy cottage widen
Toa palace old and grand,
within whose walls are gathered
The merriest Of the land.
Oui In the long corridor
Where hangs the mistIetoe,
By chance they'r often meeting,
The maiden and the beau.
But therc's one roguish damsel
With ringlets In her hair,
Who meets her many lovers
With proud yet winsome air.
They lay both rank and title
With homage at her feet,
Bet unto every suifor
This challenge she'll repeat.
Whoever meath the mistletoe
Shall frat behold me stand,
To him will surrender,
To him I'll give my hand"
But Christmas days were ended,
And Twelfth night closing In,
Yet no orc had the fortune
Her heart and hand to win.
The room was warm, and ciowded
With you this and maiden fair,
wandered to the corridor
To breathe the winter air.
But some one had preceded,
Some one with cheeks aglow
Was standing In the shadow
Beneath the mistletoe.
KNEW twas she, the saucy
And willful little sprite,
And kissed her In the darkness
Ofthat Christmas night.
know not what 1 whispered
Into her listening ear;
Ionly know she promised
To marry me next year.
o, days ofyouth and pleasure,
How soon ye pass away,
Like buds culled in the morning,
Atevening to decay.
Like colors in the rainbow,
Like streaks Of rosy dawn,
Scarce do we praise their beauty,
Before that beauty's gone.
Her step has now grown feeble.
Her locks entwined with gray.
Her cheeks have lost the beauty
And bloom Of early May.
Butto my heart she's dearer
Than when fifty years ago,
Iwocd her in the darkness,
Beneath the mistletoe.

the association is to preserve th'
identity of the Race, as in that o
the league being formed by Mr.
Fortune of the New York Freeman
which league, and all such others
we must distinctly, and emphatically
condemn, as against the principles
of the country, and the future we'll
fare of the Race.
So long as the Colored Race keeps
itself aloof from the White Races,
which in the North at least, with
but few exceptions is done volun-
tarily, there will be certain amount
of reserve on the part of the White
Races also, and the Colored Race
will represent no power to speak Of
in politics. Let the Colored People
drop their identitr. ulsisa themselves
With the White voters, act up to
their honest convictions, binding
themselves to no party or leader.
The result will be, that their pow
er will soon be felt and reconized.

The return to duty of hoodlum

The return to duty of hoodlum,
Mclean, not long since convicted
of assaulting respectable citizen
goes far to show that the department,
whose dignity Crowley is prating
about upholding at any price, is
thoroughly demoralized, lost to all
sense of decency.
This ruffian has a "pull" and he
knows it, therefore, whenever the
freak enters his head, as at any time
it is apt to do, he will knock some
body else on the head, confident in
bis immunity from dismissal, which
is probably oweing as much to his
Indebtedness to usurer Clark, as any
thing else. 1t has been suggested
that many officers now on the force
would be dismissed but for the fear
that they would "break up the game"
and land somebody over the bay.
We do not believe that though.
Knowing what we do concerning
our very disreputable police force,
we are of the opinion, that in the
event Of anyone being in their way,
whether members of the force or other
wise, they would not be long in re-
moving him.
But to return to Mclean, it has
been suggested that the lives of re-
spectacle citizens will not be safe af-
ter dark, with such man as him
about. This is no lasting danger
however, MLean, it will be found,
has only been placed on q respect
able beat, until such time as some
officer with less pull than himself,
has made room for him on the black
mailing baudy house, gambling
shops, and opium den routes, which
of course are not frequented by re-
spectacle citizens. Poor Baxter has
been dismissed. He had been
drunk while on duty, had no pull,
and considering the fact that he had
the audacity not to owe cent to
usurer Clark, the Commissioners con-
cluded that they had no other alter.
native but to remove him.

In a recent Issue we made allus-

a general intermingling of all races

There appears to be 9 rapidly in
creasing desire among the Colored
Race in every part of the country
to form social and political clubs,
and organizations. This is a move
in the right direction, and meets
